Easy to put together, but note the washers as they are not mentioned in the instructions.  Chair is small, I'm 6'1 and the arms are way too low. Lower back support doesn't really line up well.  The chair looks just like the picture. As anticipated, the padding on the seat has cushion but not pillow like.  It is an okay chair for the money and might be the perfect chair for someone a little shorter. Likely will be rotated out for an alternate use when I find something better for me.
